Home ownership and renting

Housing tenure shows how households in this constituency described their home at the most recent census.

44,687 householdsCensus 2021
Home owners65.1% · 29,101 households
Private renters14.6% · 6,516 households
Social renters17.8% · 7,934 households
Other tenure2.5% · 1,136 households

“Other tenure” combines shared ownership and households recorded as living rent free.

Housing-tenure figures come from the most recent census: 2021 in England, Wales and Northern Ireland and 2022 in Scotland. View housing-tenure source ↗

Household composition

A broad view of household types in this constituency. Project Open Gov uses the four broad groups supplied by the Commons Library so the presentation remains consistent across the UK.

44,686 householdsCensus 2021
One-person households26.4% · 11,787 households
Families with dependent children30.6% · 13,657 households
Other single-family households39.1% · 17,466 households
Other household types4.0% · 1,776 households

Household-composition figures come from the Commons Library constituency dataset. The source uses census data and Project Open Gov displays its broad household groups rather than attempting to harmonise the detailed categories itself. View household-composition source ↗

Disability and day-to-day activities

The source records whether day-to-day activities are limited and uses separate person-level tables for England & Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.

108,216 people in the source baseCensus 2021Source comparison: England & Wales
Day-to-day activities limited a lot5.6% · 6,041 people
Day-to-day activities limited a little9.7% · 10,520 people
Not disabled under the Equality Act84.7% · 91,655 people

Comparison note: the workbook uses different source terminology across the UK: England & Wales uses “Disabled under the Equality Act”, while Scotland and Northern Ireland use “Disabled” / “Non-disabled”. Project Open Gov therefore preserves the source categories and does not present them as one single like-for-like UK legal definition.

Disability figures come from the Commons Library constituency workbook. This profile uses the person-level tables only; the workbook also contains separate household-level disability tables which are not used here. View disability source ↗

Breaking Boundaries: Hidden Histories of Women’s Rugby in the South & South West

Ignite Your Power C.I.C.

£52,550

The National Lottery Heritage Fund · Heritage

About this award

Our vision is to shine a light on the women whose passion, resilience and determination shaped rugby in the South and South West long before the women’s game gained national recognition. Much of this history has never been formally recorded. Stories survive only in personal memories, forgotten photographs and scattered community archives. Through this project, we aim to uncover these hidden histories by working directly with volunteers, young people, clubs and former players. By equipping communities with heritage skills, we will empower them to preserve their own past while building pride in the region’s contribution to the Red Roses and the modern game. The project will culminate in a touring exhibition across major clubs and a permanent online archive, ensuring this heritage is accessible, celebrated and never lost again. We want future generations to know the women who came before them, and to feel inspired by their courage and impact.

Whitchurch School Heritage Programme

Whitchurch Conservation Group

£31,838

The National Lottery Heritage Fund · Heritage

About this award

Whitchurch Conservation Group, a voluntary constituted community group, seeks to deliver a pilot heritage education programme that removes financial and practical barriers preventing local primary school children from accessing Whitchurch’s natural, social and built heritage. Through the Whitchurch School Heritage Programme, we aim to enable 700 Year 2 pupils from five local schools to engage directly with the River Test chalkstream and Whitchurch Silk Mill, combining outdoor environmental learning with structured heritage interpretation. Our objectives are to improve understanding of the River Test’s ecological and historic importance; strengthen children’s connection to place; and support Whitchurch Silk Mill’s charitable aim to widen educational access at a time when it lacks capacity to fund outreach independently. The project also aims to extend the legacy of previous National Lottery Heritage Fund investment in local river and industrial heritage, embedding learning, stewardship and responsible access at an early age through a partnership-led, curriculum-aligned programme.
